“I can’t believe that the Secret Realm had a secret like this!”

“Indeed, what a surprising matter.”

“It is truly sinister and vicious for that Black Light Sage to have the gut to feed on sky-prides as nourishment. Serves him right for being sealed away by the Luminous Moon Sage for tens of thousands of years.”

After the experienced cultivators from different orthodoxies heard that, they all felt some sense of resentment and anger.

At the same time, they could all understand how Chu Kuangren was able to kill a sage. Besides the weakened Black Light Sage, the Luminous Moon Sage provided him as well.

Although the facts were shocking nonetheless, everyone was able to accept it now.

“Does anyone here still have any dissatisfactions? If not for Kuangren here, your sky-prides would have all become food for someone else.” Elder Ruyan’s cold gaze swept across everyone in the crowd as she spoke in an impartial tone.

The people in the crowd looked at each other. It seemed like they had nothing much to say about that now.

“Lil Chu’s talents are indeed extraordinary. Regarding this, I have nothing else to say anymore.”

“Sigh, all of this must’ve happened because of fate.”

What more could they still say?

Most of the valuable items and treasures within the Secret Realm may have all gone into Chu Kuangren’s hands, but he was the one who killed the Black Light Sage and saved the lives of numerous sky-prides after all.

Besides that, he explored the Secret Realm and obtained those items using his own skills and abilities. Even if they could not accept what he did, the fact that it had already happened could not be changed.

“That’s it?” Elder Ruyan frowned.

“We have decided not to pursue this matter anymore. Elder Ruyan, is there still anything that you’re unsatisfied about?”

Elder Ruyan snorted. “All of you never even had the right to pursue this matter in the first place. However, Kuangren did save so many sky-prides in the Secret Realm. Does not mean anything to you guys? Don’t you have anything to give in return for his great act of kindness? ”

“This...” Everyone in the crowd stuttered as they looked at each other.

‘How nice. As if taking more than half of the treasures in the Luminous Moon Secret Realm is not enough, now you’re expecting something in return as well?’

Fangtian, Yuanhong, and the other sky-prides were dumbfounded.

‘What the h*ll is going on now?’

Having been crushed miserably by Chu Kuangren in the Secret Realm, not only could they not pursue the matter further, but they had to thank him now instead?

Was there anything more ridiculous in this world than this?

“What’s the matter? Don’t you know how to be grateful for the one who saved you? This is such an undignified behavior from all of you sage orthodoxies and Sage Tribes. Oh, what a joke you guys will become when word starts to spread about this.”

Within the void, the Seventh Forefather’s voice resounded.

The expressions on the Honorables faces changed. An Honorable Supreme had spoken; if they still did not act accordingly, it might not be so easy for them to just leave afterward.

One of the Honorables from the Thunder Temple walked to Chu Kuangren. He held his palms together in front of Chu Kuangren and smiled. “Chu the Benefactor, I thank you for your acts of kindness and generosity of saving the sky-prides of my temple.”

After he bowed, he then said, “If you happen to visit the Thunder Temple in the future, everyone shall welcome you with open arms.”

“Thank you for the kind and polite gesture, Great Master.” Chu Kuangren smiled calmly.

Seeing that Thunder Temple had taken action first, the other Honorables knew that it was better to stop hesitating. So, one by one, they all went before Chu Kuangren and thanked him.

“Thank you Junior Chu, the gate of my Five Ways Sect will forever be open to you. You shall be welcome to visit us anytime as you wish.”

“The same goes for Dharmas Sect.”

The crowd of Honorables had no choice but to put away their resentment and thank Chu Kuangren. Some of them did it voluntarily, while some did it despite the dissatisfaction in their hearts.

The latter ones were especially the Honorables from the White Lotus School and the Yasha Tribe’s Honorable Ye Xue. It was an awkward exchange as they thanked Chu Kuangren, given what he did to their disciples.

The White Lotus Bachelor Sage’s arm was severed while the Spirit Blood Child was heavily injured. Given all that, they still had to thank Chu Kuangren, the culprit who did all this?

It would be weird for them to thank him willingly.

The tens of thousands of cultivators at the North Seas were silent.

They were all dumbfounded as they watched the Honorables lining up one by one to thank and bow to a junior cultivator.

That scene was too much of a fantasy even for them.

“Alright, I presume we can leave now?” one of the Honorables spoke. The person he was asking was not Elder Ruyan, but the Seventh Forefather instead.

“Leave,” the Seventh Forefather replied.

‘We’re all sage orthodoxies anyway. There’s no point pushing things too far.’

The crowd of sky-prides and orthodoxies was initially filled with hopes and expectations when they arrived, but all of them returned with disappointment instead. The only party who reaped the most rewards was the Black Heaven’s Sect.

After leaving the Northern seas, the group from the Black Heaven’s Sect found a secluded place to gather and rest. As everyone gathered together, Elder Ruyan specifically asked Chu Kuangren about what he had experienced, having traveled out adventuring and training all those days.

Without concealing anything, Chu Kuangren told her everything that happened.

Finally, at last, even the Seventh Forefather appeared before everyone.

Seeing him return to his prime state, Elder Ruyan was astounded. “Seventh Forefather, you... You... How can this be possible?”

No wonder she thought that the Seventh Forefather’s voice sounded younger just now.

It was true. She did not mishear after all!

“Hah, I have this little guy to thank after all.” The Seventh Forefather then told her about the time he consumed the Life Extension Pill.

Elder Ruyan was astonished at first but soon became very delighted. “So that’s how it is. This is great news, our Black Heaven Sect now has another Honorable Supreme in its ranks! Kuangren, you really are the lucky star of the Black Heaven Sect!”

Chu Kuangren simply smiled.

Everyone then continued to chat for a long time before Elder Ruyan led Nangong Huang, Murong Xuan, and the others back to Black Heaven Sect.

Before they left, Chu Kuangren handed over most of the items and treasures he had obtained from Honorable Yuan Ling’s Treasury and the Luminous Moon Secret Realm to Elder Ruyan for her to bring back.

All of those items were useless to him.

The corpse of the Luminous Moon Sage was among them.

“Elder Ruyan, I have a selfish request that I hope you’d consider. The Luminous Moon Sage was someone who fought side by side with me to defeat the Black Light Sage and because of that, I have considered him to be my comrade-in-arms. Although the Sage Daoist Rhyme in his body is still useful to be absorbed and used, I request that you do not destroy it.”

“I respect your intentions Kuangren. Don’t you worry, we’ll deal with the sage’s body properly while considering your requests?”

“Mm, alright.”

...

“Master, where shall we head to next?”

“Back to the Royal Capital City, of course. The competition for marriage still hasn’t ended yet you know.” Not waiting for Chu Kuangren to speak, Li Xingchen immediately replied.

‘The competition for marriage huh...’

Thinking of that, Chu Kuangren could not help but think about Princess Linglong.

‘Ill fates, oh, ill fates indeed.’

Frankly speaking, if he did not have an affair with Princess Linglong, it did not matter to him how she wanted to continue with the marriage competition, or whom she would marry in the end.

However, he felt a little uncomfortable now instead.

‘Sighs, is this the so-called possessive nature of men?’

Chu Kuangren lamented.

“Let’s go, we’ll return to the Capital City first,” Chu Kuangren said. After all, keeping this matter was not a solution, but there would be an end to this eventually.

Royal Azure Dynasty, Capital City.

After a few days, the numerous sky-prides who went to the Luminous Moon Secret Realm had all returned to the Capital City with the intention to carry on their participation in the marriage competition.

Capital City, inside one of the restaurants.

The sky-prides of each different orthodoxies had gathered there, and they were all chatting and exchanging information about the findings and happenings during their exploration in the Secret Realm. They soon found out that only a few people did not return empty-handed.

“It’s all Chu Kuangren’s fault. That guy’s just too much. I can’t believe he got more than half of all the treasures within the Secret Realm,” one of the dissatisfied sky-prides said.

At the mention of Chu Kuangren, the crowd suddenly became silent.

Chu Kuangren’s name was like a large mountain weighing upon their chests, making everyone feel breathless and overwhelmed.

It was just too hard.

Living in the same era with a person like that was just too hard.

“This person is truly a peerless talent.”

The Five Way Sect’s Fangtian lamented. Although he was unwilling to accept, everyone there did not doubt Chu Kuangren’s brilliance.

“He’s indeed remarkable, but are we going to continue letting that guy outshine us?” asked Lin Batian from the Zhiyang Valley.

“Alright, alright. Let’s talk about something else.”

Sensing that the atmosphere was a little tense, the Dharmas Sect’s Fangtian went and changed the topic. “Who do you all think will win this marriage competition?”
